متن کاملHemodynamic derangement and cardiac dysfunction in cirrhosis.
Liver cirrhosis is characterized by a long course that lasts between 15 and 20 years. The natural history of this disease depends mainly on the occurrence and progression of single complications which are today more fully understood and therefore more treatable. More specifically, those complications involving hemodynamic mechanisms have been extensively studied in recent years. Indeed, the mec...
متن کاملDiabetes-Related Cardiac Dysfunction
The proposal that diabetes plays a role in the development of heart failure is supported by the increased risk associated with this disease, even after correcting for all other known risk factors. However, the precise mechanisms contributing to the condition referred to as diabetic cardiomyopathy have remained elusive, as does defining the disease itself. Decades of study have defined numerous ...
متن کاملNitric oxide and renal and cardiac dysfunction in cirrhosis.
Nitric oxide (NO) has diverse physiological and pathophysiological effects. The roles of NO in the renal and cardiac dysfunction found in cirrhosis are reviewed. In the kidneys of experimental animals with cirrhosis, several lines of evidence speak in favour of an enhanced production of NO, through the activation of both endothelial constitutive and inducible isoforms of NO synthase. In contras...
متن کاملAutonomic dysfunction in alcoholic cirrhosis and its relation to sudden cardiac death risk predictors.
Patients with liver cirrhosis have autonomic dysfunction and complex cardiovascular changes. Increases risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) was recently recognized in liver cirrhosis. This study analyzed risk predictors for SCD related to autonomic dysfunction in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC). Twenty five patients with ALC were examined and compared with healthy control group. Ca...
